Lions are incapable of being "evil"...they act according to their natural instincts and we humans act in accordance with ours, self preservation...it's just that we have a little more smarts then they do because we certainly can't match them in strength, agility, big teeth and claws...I'm talking about in ancient times. Nearly every "ancient culture" hunted lions, Egypt,Greece,Babylon, Assyria, and India, for example.
